2014-10-10r1.45 of macppc install.md eliminated the verbiage exhorting usersKenneth R Westerback
to create an HFS partition with type AND name 'OpenBSD'. Worse, it added checks to make sure the partition type and name were correct. Sevan Janiyan pointed out that the example in INSTALL.macppc did not show the 'n' command required to set the name of the OpenBSD partition to 'OpenBSD'. Thus leaving HFS users possibly puzzled over partitioning prerequisites. Add required command to example.

2010-03-16Jumbo commit for 4.7 installation instructions:Miod Vallat
- do not mention tape as an installation media on systems where it is very unlikely that a tape drive can be connected to (i.e. anything with only USB as expansion capabilities) - do not mention that fetching the installation sets from a partition is ``for upgrades only''. You may do this for installation, but of course you can not use a partition which will be newfs'ed for that purpose. - mention ext2fs partitions as possible installation sets source only on platforms where the installation media actually can mount an ext2fs filesystem. - stress the fact that the sparc miniroot image is a GENERIC kernel with a little on-disk filesystem, and not a RAMDISK kernel with a little in-memory filesystem, and thus must not be overwritten during installation (i.e. be careful if you repartition the disk the miniroot has been put on). - more conv=sync -> conv=osync for tape setup instructions. - model-specific layout changes on armish, loongson and socppc instructions. - fix various typos and grammar mistaeks. "sure" deraadt@ (without eyeballing)

Also, the per-platform features are moved to a common place, which makes the MD layout easier to work on. m4.common is still a tangled mess of subtly placed dnl, though...

2008-08-05Better description of the installation steps:Miod Vallat
- document questions in proper order: hostname before network configuration, DNS only if network is configured, sshd and ntpd, aperture only on machines which need it, serial console only on machines which need it. This is done by splitting the end of OpenBSDCommonURL in various macros, OpenBSDInstallWrapup, OpenBSDInstallAperture, OpenBSDInstallConsole and OpenBSDInstallWrapupPart2. - use the above macros when appropriate, OpenBSDInstallWrapup* being mandatory on all arches. - remove serial console configuration blurb on sparc and sparc64, it is handled by OpenBSDInstallConsole now.
